< Psalms 72 >

1 Of Solomon - O God judgments your to [the] king give and righteousness your to [the] son of [the] king.
A psalm on Solomon.
2 He will judge people your with righteousness and poor [people] your with justice.
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
3 They will carry mountains peace to the people and hills in righteousness.
Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
4 He will judge - [the] poor [people] of [the] people he will save [the] children of [the] needy so he may crush [the] oppressor.
He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
5 People will fear you with [the] sun and before [the] moon generation of generations.
And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
6 He will come down like rain on mown grass like copious showers dropping of [the] earth.
He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
7 He will flourish in days his [the] righteous and abundance of well-being [will be] until not [the] moon.
In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
8 And may he rule from sea to sea and from [the] river to [the] ends of [the] earth.
And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Before him they will bow down desert-dwellers and enemies his dust they will lick up.
Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.
10 [the] kings of Tarshish and [the] islands tribute they will pay [the] kings of Sheba and Seba a gift they will bring near.
The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
11 And they may bow down to him all kings all nations they will serve him.
And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he will deliver [the] needy [who] cries for help and [the] poor and not a helper [belongs] to him.
For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
13 He will have compassion on [the] poor and [the] needy and [the] lives of needy [people] he will save.
He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.
14 From oppression and from violence he will redeem life their and may be precious blood their in view his.
He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
15 And may he live and he may give to him some of [the] gold of Sheba and [may] someone pray for him continually all the day may someone bless him.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
16 May it be an abundance of grain - in the land on [the] top of [the] mountains may it wave like Lebanon fruit its and may people blossom from [the] city like [the] vegetation of the earth.
And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 May it be name his for ever before [the] sun (may it increase *Q(K)*) name his and may they bless themselves by him all nations may they call blessed him.
Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
18 [be] blessed - Yahweh God [the] God of Israel [who] does wonders to only him.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.
19 And [be] blessed - [the] name of glory his for ever and may it be filled glory his all the earth amen - and amen.
And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
20 They are finished [the] prayers of David [the] son of Jesse.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
